“Deepak
Chopra’s comments are beyond the bounds and he should immediately
publicly apologize to American society and to Mr. Trump for these
inappropriate and hurtful comments,” said Jay Ruderman, President
of the Ruderman Family Foundation. “These comments are a slur that have
the impact on people with disabilities and their families that any
other slur directed at someone’s race, religion, or sexual orientation
would have on their respective communities. The Foundation has
criticized Mr. Trump in the past for his inappropriate mocking of a
reporter with a disability. We only see it fair to speak up when someone
is inappropriately disparaging Mr. Trump.”

In
an interview Tuesday with FOX News Radio, the famed author and
alternative medicine advocate, unleashed an attack on Trump and offended
the disability community when he said that “Mr. Trump represents the
emotional retardation of a 3-year-old” and later in the interview
saying, “Maybe I was too kind when I said he was emotionally retarded,
maybe he’s mentally retarded too.”

“In
the U.S. we are currently going through a super charged political
season where emotions are running extremely high. While people can and
should have very strong views about the future of our country, it is
never acceptable to criticize anyone by describing them with a real life
disability which millions of Americans have,” added Ruderman.

The
Ruderman Family Foundation is an internationally recognized
organization, which advocates for the full inclusion of people with
disabilities in our society. The Foundation supports effective programs,
innovative partnerships and a dynamic approach to philanthropy in
advocating for and advancing the inclusion of people with disabilities
throughout America.

The
Ruderman Family Foundation believes that inclusion and understanding of
all people is essential to a fair and flourishing community and imposes
these values within its leadership and funding.

We do not open attachments. Stop e-mailing them. Threats and abusive e-mail are not covered by any privacy rule. This isn't to the reporters at a certain paper (keep 'em coming, they are funny). This is for the likes of failed comics who think they can threaten via e-mails and then whine, "E-mails are supposed to be private." E-mail threats will be turned over to the FBI and they will be noted here with the names and anything I feel like quoting.
This also applies to anyone writing to complain about a friend of mine. That's not why the public account exists.
